When Romney edged out Paul in the vote by only 194 votes in the official announcement last Saturday evening, Paul and his supporters pointed to the Washington County postponement, as the Texas congressman expected to do well there. Many of his supporters suggested the postponement was intentional, arguing that 3 to 4 inches of snow is not a big deal for Maine and the local county chairman supports Romney.]]>http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2012/02/ron-paul-gets-his-wish-a-recount-in-maine/feed/1Ron Paul not ready to accept second place in Maine, expects to win straw poll once all the votes are countedhttp://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2012/02/ron-paul-not-ready-to-accept-second-place-in-maine-expects-to-win-straw-poll-once-all-the-votes-are-counted/
